Blood Glucose Levels

Health problems are affected by several factors, including lifestyle, diet, work environment factors, exercise, and stress. Changes in lifestyle can lead to an increase in the prevalence of degenerative diseases such as coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus (DM), obesity, and high blood pressure. Risk factors that will occur due to increasing age include blood circulation disorders such as hypertension, blood vessel disorders, DM, and disorders of the joints. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between blood glucose levels and blood pressure in prolanis (Chronic Disease Management Program) members. The type and design of this study used an Analytical Observational design and a Cross Sectional design. The population in this study was 71 people with a sample of 35 respondents. The data in this study were secondary data obtained from data on blood glucose levels and blood pressure of prolanis members of the Somagede Public Health Care Center. The results of statistical tests showed that 11 people (31%) had high blood glucose levels, 18 people (52%) had normal blood glucose levels, and 6 people (17%) had low blood glucose levels. In addition, of these respondents, it was found that 11 people (31%) had high blood pressure, 24 people (63%) had normal blood pressure, and 2 people (6%) had low blood pressure. The analysis with the Pearson test showed that the value of p = 0.728, which means that H0 was accepted. Thus, there is no relationship between glucose levels and blood pressure in Prolanis members of the Somagede Public Health Care Center, Banyumas Regency. The null correlation between blood pressure and glucose levels might be because of the respondents' ability to control glucose levels, hence there are no complications that can increase blood pressure values.

Introduction/Objective. An important moment in oral health care and preventive dentistry is the first dental visit, recommended to be undertaken between the child?s sixth and 12th month of life. Worldwide evidence shows a considerable delay. This study evaluates characteristics of the first dental visit in a public health care center in Novi Sad, Serbia, during 2006?2015 period, and changes in occurrence driven by the healthcare reform. Methods. The study design was retrospective, evaluating available data on age and the main reason for the first dental visit of 270 children, who come to the same dentist and pediatrician in a public health care center during the 2006?2015 period. Results. Collected data determined the third and the fourth year of life as the dominant age (45.8% of children) for the first dental visit in 2006?2010, initiated mostly by a dental check-up (53.8%). During the second period (2011?2015), most of the first visits (31.1%) were done by the age of one, while the main reason for 80.1% of the visits was dental check-up. Conclusion. Considerable progress regarding the first dental visit was made in the observed period, which is, at least partially, due to the health care reform and emphasized preventive versus curative measures, by means of advanced communication between parents and chosen medical staff in prenatal and pediatric clinics.

Metabolic syndrome, refers to a group of conditions common in people with insulin resistance, including higher than normal blood glucose levels, increased waist size due to excess abdominal fat (Obesity), high blood pressure and abnormal levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood.  People with metabolic syndrome have an increased risk of developing type 2diabetes and CVD. More than 10 million cases of metabolic syndrome occurs per year in India. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome increases with age and about 40% of people above 60 years are affected with metabolic syndrome.  Diabetes occurs as chronic sequel of metabolic syndrome.  In the whole world, nearly about 24% of the population is suffering from diabetes. As per WHO, its percentage may go as high as 40-45% in 2020. So, there is intense need to know the graveness of the disease and to understand the possible ways of prevention.

Postprandial hypotension (PPH) is a common condition that occurs primarily in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of acarbose for PPH; it also investigated possible mechanisms behind PPH development. This single-blind, randomized controlled trial included 91 elderly patients with T2DM, aged between 60 and 80 years, who were inpatients at Beijing Hospital between March 2012 and November 2014. The patients were included into one of three groups: Group A, patients with T2DM without PPH; Group B, patients with T2DM with PPH receiving placebo; and Group C, patients with T2DM with PPH receiving acarbose. After an overnight fast, patients received a single dose of acarbose (100 mg) or placebo and then consumed a standardized 450 kcal meal. Blood pressure, glucose levels, heart rate (HR), and catecholamine levels were evaluated. Acarbose ameliorated PPH as determined by significant improvements in the duration and maximal fall in blood pressure (both p<0.001); however, no differences in HR and blood glucose levels were observed. In patients with PPH, blood pressure was correlated with blood glucose and HR variability values (p<0.05). Correlations between epinephrine and glucagon-like peptide-1 with blood pressure in groups A and C were largely lost in group B. Acarbose reduced postprandial blood pressure fluctuations in elderly patients with diabetes. PPH may be related to impaired autonomic nervous system function, reduced catecholamine secretion, and postprandial fluctuations in blood glucose levels.Trial registration numberChinese Clinical Trial Registry ChiCTR-IPR-15006177.
